Placement
The ambient temperature has an
effect on the energy consumption and
proper operation of the appliance.
When placing, take into consideration
that it is practical to operate the
appliance between ambient
temperature limits according to the
climate class that is given in the chart
below and can be found in the data
label.
Class of climate Ambient temperature
SN +10 ... +32 °C
N +16 ... +32 °C
ST +18 ... + 38 °C
If the ambient temperature goes
below the lower data the temperature
of the cooling compartment can go
beyond the prescribed temperature.
If the ambient temperature goes
beyond the upper data this means
longer operating time of the
compressor, increasing temperature
in the freezer or increasing energy
consumption.
When placing the appliance ensure
that it stands level. This can be
achieved by two adjustable feet (1) at
the bottom in front. 1-1 piece of
distance washers (2) are accessories
of the adjustable feet. If levelling the
appliance requires, these washers
can be removed.

Do not stand the appliance on a
sunny place or close to a radiator or
cooker.
If it is unavoidable because of
furnishing and the appliance has to
be stood near a cooker take these
minimum distances into
consideration:
In case of gas or electric cooker 3
cm must be left, when it is less put
a 0,5 - 1 cm non-flam insulation
between the two appliances.
In case of oil or coal-fired stove the
distance must be 30 cm since they
give off more heat.
The refrigerator is designed to
operate when it is totally pushed to
the wall.
When placing the refrigerator
keep minimal distances
recommended in figure.

Operation and use
Installation
Insert the plug into the socket. In
order to switch on the product, turn
the thermostat (B) to a temperature
lower than << 1 >>. The green, yellow
and red indicators will light up. The
lighting up of the on/off indicator (A)
means that the product is switched
on. The yellow indicator lights
continuously indicating an
uninterrupted refrigeration for 5 hours
(it can be switched off manually after
2 hours). The red indicator lights
continuously indicating an improper
temperature in the freezing
compartment. As well as an
intermittent sound can be heard,
which can be stopped by pressing
button (D) once. You can switch off
the freezer by turning the thermostat
(B) in position << >>.
When the product is switched
on for the first time, the quick
freeze function will start
automatically and will stop only 5
hours later. You can manually
switch off this function any time by
pressing the quick freeze (D)
switch.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of the
freezer is regulated electronically
through five temperature positions
and a switch-off << >> setting.
Position << 1 >> indicates the
highest (least cold) temperature,
while position << 6 >> is for the
lowest (coldest) temperature. Rotate
the thermostat in the desired
position.
In general, it is best to set the
thermostat to << -18°C >> but, for
the purpose of temperature setting,
you should also consider
the temperature of the room
where the product is installed,
the frequency of door openings,
the volume of food to be stored in
the product,
the location of the product.
Therefore, you should consider all
these factors and you may have to
do some testing for finding the best
temperature. If you want a lower
temperature, turn the thermostat into
a position of higher number or, vice
versa, if you need a higher
temperature, you should set a
position of lower number. Please
allow 24 hours for the freezer
temperature to stabilize between two
adjustments.
Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator (E)
will light up when the internal
temperature of the freezer increases
to a level (above -12°C) where the
long-term conservation of the foods
in not ensured. Please note that,
when switching on the freezer for the
28 electrolux
GB
first time, the alarm indicator will
keep on lighting until the internal
temperature has reached a level
required for the safe conservation
of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions,
the internal temperature of the
freezer will ensure the long-term
conservation of the stored food.
When such temperature rises
above a certain level (-12°C), it will
trigger an acoustic and light alarm.
The light alarm is a continuous red
light (E), while the acoustic alarm is
an intermittent sound. You can stop
the acoustic alarm by pressing
switch (D) once.
Freezing
Prepare the various foods properly
and then freeze them always in the
freezing compartment. For
maximum freezing performance
remove the freezer tray and
baskets and then place the foods to
be frozen directly on the
evaporator. In case of freezing
smaller food volumes you do not
need to remove the freezer tray and
baskets.
For using the quick freeze function,
press the quick freeze on/off switch
(D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of
small and great food volumes you
should do it approx. 4 and 24
hours, respectively, before you
want to freeze the fresh food. The
yellow indicator (C) will light up.
The compressor will operate
continuously until the product
reaches the freezing temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen
(it may take up to 24 hours) you can
manually switch off the quick
freeze function by pressing the switch
(D) for 2-3 seconds. If not switched off
manually, the quick freeze function will
be automatically switched off 48 hours
later. The yellow indicator (C) will also
go out.
The freezing tray can be used for
freezing small fruits (raspberry,
strawberry, currant, etc.). Place a thin
layer of the unpacked fruits in the tray.
Once they are frozen, the fruits can be
packed, sorted and placed in the
storage boxes.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products
into the storing compartments (cages)
after freezing has finished so that to
make room in the freezing compartment
for another freezing.
Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
How to make ice cubes
To make ice cubes fill the enclosed ice
cube tray with water and put it to the
frozen food compartment. Wetting the
bottom of the tray and setting
thermostatic control knob to maximum
stage can shorten preparing time. After
finishing do not forget to reset the
thermostatic control to the suitable
stage.
Ready ice cubes can be taken out of the
tray under running water then twist or hit
it.
Some useful information
and advice
After opening and closing the door of
freezer vacuum will rise inside the
appliance because of the low
temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes
after closing the door - if you want to
open it again - while inner pressure
equalises.
electrolux 29
GB
Take care of operating the freezer at
a position of thermostatic control so
that the inside temperature can
never go beyond -18 °C, since
temperature higher than this can
deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of
faultless operation of the appliance
daily so as to notice possible failure
in time and prevent deterioration of
frozen foods.
After a power failure the product will
restart and the quick freeze function
will be switched on. If not switched
off manually, the quick freeze
function will be automatically
switched off 5 hours later. When the
quick freeze function is switched off,
the yellow indicator (C) will go out.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas
are given about how to use the
appliance to reach maximum energy
saving and there is environmental
information about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a
sunny place and near anything that
gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the
compressor are well ventilated. Do
not cover the sections where
ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing
dishes or cling film to avoid building
up unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer
compartment to touch foods already
frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary and avoid
unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the
appliance only when they are at
room temperature.
The condenser must be kept
clean.
The appliance and
environment
This appliance does not contain
gasses which could damage the
ozone layer, in either its refrigerant
circuit or insulation materials. The
appliance shall not be discarded
together with the urban refuse and
rubbish. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear
near the heat exchanger.
Information on your local disposal
sites may be obtained from your
municipal authorities.
The materials used on this
appliance marked with the sympol
are recyclable.
Maintenance
Defrosting
It is a normal phenomenon that a
part of the internal humidity is
turned into frost and ice during
operation. However, a thick frost or
ice layer has an insulating effect and
thus reduces the freezing
performance leading to rising
internal temperatures and higher
energy consumption and, above a
certain layer thickness, to difficulties
in the opening or sudden break of
the freezer door.
If the formation of frost and ice is not
significant, use the spatula
(accessory) to remove or scrape off
the frost or ice layer.
Please note that the tray shown in
the figure is not an accessory.
30 electrolux
GB
If the frost or ice layer is too thick for
removal with the spatula, defrosting
will be necessary. The frequency of
defrosting depends on the actual use.
To defrost the product:
Set the thermostat to position
<< >>.
Disconnect the product from the
mains.
After removing them from the freezer,
place the frozen foods in a basket
padded with paper or cloth and kept in
a cool place, or relocate them into the
deep-freezing or cooling
compartment of a normal fridge.
Leave the door open.
From time to time use a cloth or
sponge to sweep off laterally the
defrost water so that it can be
collected in a drain at the bottom of
the product and then remove the
water as follows:
Place a tray of sufficient height in front
of the product.
Following the arrow, carefully pull out
the defrost water drain, located in the
central bottom section of the product,
to let the defrost water flow into the
tray.
The defrosting process will be quicker
if you put a pan filled with hot water on
the cooling plates used as shelves.
Once defrosting is completed, dry
the wet surfaces and push back the
defrost water drain.
Connect the product to the mains.
Rotate the thermostat to position
<<-18°C>> and let the product
operate in quick freeze mode for at
least 2 hours before putting back the
formerly removed frozen foods.
Regular cleaning
It is practical to clean the inside of
the freezer and defrost it at a time.
Household cleaner or soap must not
be used.
After breaking the circuit wash the
appliance using lukewarm water and
wipe it.
Clean the door gasket with clean
water.
After cleaning apply voltage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to remove the
dust and dirt collected on the back of
the appliance and the condenser
once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator is not in
use
If you do not use the product for
longer periods, make sure to perform
the following:
Set the thermostat to position
<< >>.
electrolux 31
GB
Disconnect the product from the
mains.
Remove all foods from the product.
Perform defrosting and cleaning
operations as described above.
Leave the doors ajar to avoid the
build-up of unpleasant odors.
Trouble shooting
During operation of the appliance
some smaller but annoying trouble
can often occur, which does not
require calling a technician out. In
the following chart information is
given about them to avoid
unnecessary charges on service.
We draw your attention that
operation of appliance goes with
certain sounds (compressor- and
circulating sound). This is not
trouble, but means normal operation.
We draw it to your attention
again that the appliance
operates discontinuously, so the
stopping of compressor does not
mean being no-current. That is why
you must not touch the electrical
parts of the appliance before
removing it from the mains socket.
